per-process isn't enough. I specifically need something to limit the memory
usage on a more global scale - per user ID or per process group or a similar
way of grouping related processes. That's the only way to tame processes
like apache. At this point the option I'm considering is Xen, unless I can
find a userland solution to the problem...
